![David Bowie - 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore [Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-zF2tsBJnpk/mqdefault.jpg)
Let's take a moment to realize that this is the last Bowie song *EVER*
RIP
Rest IN Peace 😢
He had demos for his next album already when he died so those'll probably get released in a few years but yea this is the last finished one :(
Concox it's still being released
Concox yeah not exactly. its the last song on his last album but not necessarily the last he recorded
hopefully there are few in the vaults they can dig out.
If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
@Pete K Sweet isn't it
somehow i managed to be born the same day as him, but 50 years later
the only celebrity that I was truly saddened by his loss.... not to be callous towards others but Bowie had a sense of humility and humanism that you can't help having a connection to.
@@thepuppetstv well put.
I was so down but read that and laughed out loud, So frigging
true. Go with much love earthlings.
As melancholic as this tune is, I'm ultimately not sad. More thankful that Bowie was considerate enough (and had enough time) to put out one last album as an end cap for his life. You don't get to write a better ending than that.
Agreed. He went out like an artist. Not many people can pull that off.
That's what make me cry, the beauty of a man knowing this is it, and making this final gift. Such magnificent humanity.
It is upbeat. It's a 'moving down the road' song. Adieu.
Spot on comment... X
and what for a last album....i think it s one of his best ever and as a last album..... it can be considered brilliant,honest.... Bowie was a Genius
The harmonica is from "A New Career In A New Town" from Bowie's "Low" album. Here are some tissues. You're welcome.
Wow, some reference there. How very sad!
Yup. Just Bowie once again telling us he's moving on.
You are spot on
thanks for enlighten us. uff
the first time I heard this song that harmonica cut right to my core and I lost it at that realization
The little spaceman finally found his place, fitting end to an incredible life
+leokimvideo By no means was it a fitting end to one's life but I think we'll both agree on this.He made it fitting to himself and to miliions who loved him by staying an awesome,awesome man to the very end!
WELL STATED!
He didn't die, he just returned to the stars is all.
@@ClawsoftheLion He'd like to come and see us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
@@alternativemusefan ja u 7
Can't believe this is the last finished song. Rip starman ❤
I think his final one was When I Met you... I don’t think this was his final final song he finished.. I think he finished this before No Plan and Just Killing A Little Time
@@GranTruismo4head I think it's killing a little time, however there are 5 more Blackstar outtakes we didn't get to listen yet.
also Happy Birthday David, wherever you are, we love you. ★ ♾️
@@Stephuzz well hopefully we can hear them soon...I would love to hear them.
@@GranTruismo4head i think skullfvck. was actually referring to the order of songs On the Blackstar Album
NOT his last recorded song ;)
Just sayin ;).............................................................
I can't believe that you would devalue this page with your vulgar, inappropriate username. You suck man. Big time.
All the songs of this album are pure heartbreak.
Absolutely agree.
+Leonel Urbina But they are so beautiful too.
Dunno if I'd call Sue heartbreaking.
@@someoneelse101 Sue is haunting, just like the rest of the album.
@@2863wonderland I can't consider she was a whore heartbreaking. Just makes me laugh. Girl loves me isn't that sad either
I hear the fact it bursts into colour at the end is to finish the Blackstar era and transcend it, like Bowie finally reaching heaven. Kaleidoscopic. A lovely little tribute. Thank you Bowie and thakn you Jonathan Barnbrook, the director of this video, and the Blackstar artwork.
wow, that is a great way to look at it!
He didnt believe in heaven
@@BrillCubes right till the end? who knows? unless you closely knew him personally, you will never know.
Lee Saunders What a wonderful comment. I usually get super emotional at the end of this song but I've found some solace with your insight and perception. Thank you.
@@BrillCubes what did he believed? If not in heaven atheist? Or space demensions in the great big cosmos energy layers? Quantum.? I haven't followed him in person that much but would be interesting to know what he thought. Also wonder did he spoke any of the lyrics or couldn't he really not tell it all, like the text lyric I can't give everything away? Also the videos im struck with and shapes and meaning onto this album
You gave us enough. Rest now. Love you still.
Love your sentiment, beautiful!
Love your sentiment, beautiful!
You are so correct. Still, I can't digest the fact that our Ziggy isn't there with us anymore.
Always..!!
He died exactly 2 weeks after my mother died of lung cancer. She was 60 and she loved David Bowie and of course I inherited her good taste. I was raised on him. I miss them both. Her maiden name was Jones too. 💗
Go Girl
A sad coincidence
Oh my.....
how many coincidences in their destiny
Then, Let's Dance:
When David died, he didn't go to heaven. He went to space
He went to the light, where everyone he loved was waiting for him!
He went to mars
The great beauty of this single being released so long after his death is this-----since David knew he was dying, and since it has become obvious that Blackstar was his way of saying goodbye----it becomes very clear that this song was orchestrated as David's way of speaking to us from the other side. I have no doubt that this is how he planned it. When you listen to the lyrics with this in mind, it absolutely gives you goosebumps. " I can't give everything away" is speaking of the mysteries of what happens after "death". It absolutely boggles the mind.
even after death the legend leaves a final piece for us to enjoy. it reminds me of how even though a star burns out, its light can still travel for years to come and remain in the sky even though it has already passed. Bowie really is a Starman in some way
Thankyou for this comment...such a nice sentiment
That's quite right, dear friend
You articulated my thoughts perfectly and better than me
That's beautiful man
That's poetic
The final song on his final album. He knew, my God he just knew....
100 years from now Bowie will still be ahead of his time.
Mugsy Catizone so true 💔😢but I hope he will meet me 😹xx
It's ironic how he sang out "I can't give everything away", in spite of giving us everything he got... his talent, his charisma, his mighty work, his beautiful mind, his art.
You gave us everything, Sir. No doubt about it.
Happy 75th birthday, my king.
Damn! This song makes me mourn his passing every time I give a listen to it.
Beautiful words.
It's really cathartic because as I interpret it, I feel like he wanted to do more music so his last goodbye was not that we won't give everything but he actually couldn't give everything, we will never know if he had more to offer but I'm sure he did.
@@Daniel-jz9td of course he did.
He never lost any touch with upcoming trends.
I wonder if people like Lorde or Tame Impala would have worked with him if he was still alive.
For some reason I interpreted it as him telling himself "I can't give everything away" because he is throwing all his energy into his music and fans leaving himself feeling drained at the end of it. He has to keep some secrets and joys to himself or it destroys him but also his image to the public.
I can't help it, it's hard listening to this without shedding tears.
Does anyone feel the same after 9 months already?
I miss DB like he was part of the family..... Indeed he's become part of us all.
I accept he was here, influenced us all, then left. I feel the poignancy, but I am inspired by his bravery. Do I dare be that brave in being myself without fear?
It certainly makes me cry, it's so beautiful and sad. He did give us everything, and more. The song is indeed a beautiful goodbye.
quique fp I feel the same 18 months later. After reading the lyrics I heard the song on UA-cam and broke down
even after two years and a half.
Musicians are welcomed into everybody's home, everyday.
The bravest album of the millenium.
No Likey Gs Omnipresence INDEED!!
Even while battling a crippling illness, his voice was still powerful. I still haven't come to terms with his passing, probably never will.
He suffered 6 Heart attacks, Tony Visconti said he came in studio with more energy then any of them, programming drum tracks, Love Bowie
One of the best Bowie songs ever written.
+Steven Hawley - It's giving me major spine and head tingles now.
this man... Days away from dying and still gives us another banger. Truly a great singer
Probably the most impactful song in the album for me. The song is more upbeat than the rest of the other songs, which heightens its impact as the last song in the album. The lyrics really feel like he's giving his final message to all his fans, like it's an apology. And finally, his death, which he must have been anticipating. It just feels so cathartic.
Agree.
One of the most beautiful songs released in the past 6 years. He will be missed.
TedJSC Hard to listen to without breaking into floods of tears though. I'm tearing up just talking about it
I'm glad this song was officially released. It's the lone track from Blackstar that (to me) had an optimistic feel to end off a very dark album. I guess no one will ever know if it would have been David's choice, but in a post Bowie world, we need his music now more than ever.
The album is truly the greatest finale of this century. It's not easy to listen to the music because of Bowie's death. Still it's perfect!
Dead and still releasing music...now that's godly
this song was released 2 days before his death
you should look into Michael Jackson, 2pac and Elvis if you wanna talk about music released after death. Michael Jackson had one released in 2014 that's went to number 2
The harmonica is from "A New Career in a New Town" and it certainly is a new career in a new town for David
Lovely way to think of it
And... off he went... for the stars...
Safe journey, David.
I miss the thought of you out there, doing whatever Bowie does.
Glad you left us your music
+Official Warrior What's your problem?
+Official Warrior
How do you know? Have you been there recently on vacation and bumped into him?
+Official Warrior If hell existed, maybe. But at least no one believes those Bronze Age fairy tales.
+Official Warrior
If you do believe in God, then you would know that you have 0% power on whether they go to heaven or not.
+Official Warrior at least you won't need to pack your clothes and belongings on your trip to hell since you believe it exists lol
You gave me more than I ever needed David, All you asked of me is that I listened and learned. You gave me my musical education. Thank you FOREVER.
He is my first memory. He is my first crush. He is my first everything. Thank you Bowie.
"we exist forever in the universe, in one form or another"
shit, that made me cry again. at least we know he is in a far cooler place. we miss u david.
One of my brothers said that davids last album was depressing as he was singing lyrics about his impending death im bi polar and have battled depression for many years davids music has always up lifted me im not depressed any more im still on meds for my bi polar RIP david miss you sydney australia 1 nov 2022
Bowie spoke LOUD in Blackstar .. and the extended version (Killing a little time , No Plan , and When I Met You) I don’t blame him …
Saddens me that only 16,000 people have gotten to hear this wonderful song with the video. So beautiful. Still crying.
+So Jo That number will grow in the next few hours. :-)
+MirellaDerks Yeah. 140,000 so far :')
Millions now.
From the description: "Follow David Bowie:"
Can't believe they're promoting suicide so soon after his death.
Lol
haha
Not Funny..
+hackman7320 it's hilarious
Idk if this is a troll, but I don't think they meant by following him by suicide, but it's still messed up that they did that shit
I adore this song. I love the affectionate, parting statement from David about the mysteries of meaning within his songs: "Saying no, but meaning yes. This is all I ever meant. ... I can't give everything away."
When I received Blackstar on Jan 8th, this was the song that I had on repeat. I cried & danced all weekend listening to it, because it is so beautiful. Now I cry when I play it because it sounds so different than before Jan 10th. The world just feels different now. (Mr Bowie has been my musical god for over 38yrs)
David Bowie isn't dead...
he just went home 💖
Despite its other nuances, I think about this song as a proclamation of a live well-lived. The old adage, "you can't take it with you" is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Bowie's repeated verse "I can't give everything away". He was able to cultivate immaterial wealth and meaning in his life- things that you CAN take with you and maybe the only things that you can't give away completely at your death. There are other sentiments in the song as well, like reluctance to leave the beauty of this life behind. The song conveys a deep sorrow and existential torment, but also ultimate triumph and gratitude along with a sense of existential thrill. To use one phrase that encompasses so much is truly a touch of genius. Such captivating words to leave us with. That he was here at all and millions of other people are still receiving these words... life is just astounding. That's what I hear in this song.
I just remembered how much pain I had when he died
My Heart still hurts. Thank you for the music Mr Jones xxx
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky. I sure miss you David.
2:12 it's right about here that you remember this is the last Bowie song. This is it. This is how he says goodbye. You don't want the song to end because that will be it. You want it to go on forever. You don't want to say goodbye.
Damn your right fuck that hurts
What a bittersweet gift.
Just how I feel. :')
I know this album is kind of a goodbye, but I honestly just love the music in it, it's super beautiful.
I love this song... My heart still feels tight when I hear his voice when I remember that he is gone... His music is such a beautiful gift to this world. David, you gave so much... Thank you...
David Bowie is gone, but he'll never leave us. Everything he gave us remains here and in heaven. Or space. Or wherever he is
+NintendoCraft13 he's up there floating in his tin can
love you Dad miss you so much this one's for you #always xxx
The harmonica from New Career in a New Town being used in this song is so Bowie. The rebirth after his drug years, tying into his death. The man couldnt stop being legendary even if he tried rip king.
And now, his new career in a new town
I read as many comments as I can, and I want to thank everyone. It's not so lonely knowing lots of you feel as I do. not knowing the man had such a gift. I personally feel he was more spiritual than he thought he was. So honest in his music. I felt badly for him in his younger years when interviewers really gave him a tough time, just to get a few snickers from audiences. He matured and grew, and really I thought his best years were the last years of his life. The added weight really made him look fantastic.
Can't seem to stop the sadness of losing him. He is gone and I can't get over it. Love you David.
When this video first came up, I didn't click on it immediately. There is a part of my soul, my mind that didn't want the end. It didn't want to accept that it's over. But I clicked on it, and found 2001: Space Odyssey again and just keep on watching it over and over again.
I miss you Mr Jones. I will forever love you
Right before the little Major Tom floats by us, the word "everything" condenses down to "very thin". That's cool. This video is cool. David Bowie is eternally cool.
+bionicbigfoot And you're cool for paying attention to that everything -> very thin; plus for sharing it with us :)
Kinda duke
There isn't much I wouldn't do to get this man back. I always thought I wouldn't to care much about someone I never knew but there are no words to explain how I feel knowing that he is gone. I am incredibly grateful to know that his memory and his music will never die.
I love this album and because of personal events in his life, it's almost like this is a concept album.
His spirit lives on.
Love the way the little spaceman disappears into space, very fitting, from Space Oddity to this song, you gave us so much David, and we will always remember and love you.
If David Bowie is in heaven, then I can see him young again. I can see him ruling his underground kindom. He is still singing and dancing. He is still writing songs, and doing what he loves. He is be exactly what he want's to be and doing what he want's to do. He is playing any role he want's to. He is making love with his ego, and he is raising his children above... and God is welcoming one of his proudest creations home. This is what I want to belive...So that is how it is. ♡ R.I.P my first love.
+Whispered sins I like to think of him in Heaven catching up with old friends like John Lennon and Lou Reed, and getting the chance to meet all the interesting people like Brecht and Mozart and daVinci that he was born too late to know in person. I never got to meet him in this life; perhaps in the next one.
+Rebecca B Don't forget Syd Barrett, the singer that inspired him to sing in the first place
The Skoolmustard not true. he was inspired mostly by dylan and motown artists. he is a true artist in every sense of the word, i will never refer to him in past tense. though he's not here mortally, he is still with us. rest well major tom.
If they ever do another Twilight Zone movie, I nominate this for the closing credits.
He prepared every detail of his farewell in this video. he loved his art and also us
There are no words to describe the power here.
Bowie finally found that album he truly loved
He's The Man Who Sold The World, he knows very well there's a price to just giving everything away, and there's consequences he's not going to be able to be there to own. Nice. Tidy. No loose ends. No flies on our David.
I was born in the right generation, a generation where I was able to exist between a music legends life
My sister just passed this song has more meaning than ever now.....
I'm so sorry for your loss.
A pesar de la melancolía que me provoca saber que Bowie ya no está con nosotros. Agradezco haber vivido en esta época y disfrutar de su maravillosa obra
Gracias por compartir 🌹
Desde una perspectiva muy personal es la mejor canción de Bowie. Es su testamento artístico. Es una alegoría del último canto del cisne.
Increíble,✴️⚛️🖤🎶🎼📀🎵💿👨🏻🎤👩🏽🎤👩🏻🎤👨🏽🎤👩🏼🎤👨🎤🔸🔅🔆💐 su obra cumbre 🌷🌺
I'm 29 dying of cancer. His music feeds my broken soul.
RIP Hero.
100 years from now Bowie will *STILL* be ahead of his time.
You can hear that the harmonica intro is a nod to harmonica intro to A New Career in a New Town, from Low.
David Bowie didn’t die. He just went back to the stars.
I will always listen to his music.
I like the idea that at the end, the EVERYTHING briefly closes in to be VERY THIN, which is possibly a double reference to both the Thin White Duke character (especially since Major Tom is seen right afterwards) and also his gaunt appearance at the end due to cancer.
This video is astounding in spite of its simplicity.
Perhaps also a reference to the veil...
this is one of the most beautiful yet saddening songs ever.
My favorite song from Blackstar. ❤️
for me too:-)
BOWIE FOREVER
Is this a message from the stars?
Our starman is fine! (Tears)
A brilliant last release from Bowie, he is an inspiration, and has given everything away. His music will last forever. RIP
I'll never forget you David. You gave everything of yourself to us. No other can ever take your place. You will forever remain in our hearts, broken as they are...
One of the best Singers now singing beyond the unverse ... Foreve loved and admired by the universe....
David Bowie's Blackstar Album is everything special
It's like watching his spirit travel to Heaven. RIP David - we miss you!
Thank you for taking us on an amazing journey you painted for us with your words, lyrics, and craft. You were an awe inspiring gift to humanity.
Seeing this makes the loss fresh again today. And that's not a bad thing.
4:08 Major Tom on his journey.
yes :')
@@S-Walt3rWe will remember Major Tom with our souls
this is so powerful
Bowie, you will be forever missed
Godspeed 🫡 will never be another like him
Still loving this in 2022 a classic.
What a talent that has been lost but never forgotten.
Very, very difficult for me to watch and esp. listen to this. I realise that I've not at all done grieving his death; that I've in fact not entirely integrated that he's dead and here, I have to. It's painful beyond words. R.I.P., you wonderful being.
The line "I can't give everything away!" is referring to his death and how he kept his illness (Cancer) unknown tragic loss to Music industry and to the World in general. RIP Starman
+J. Timmins Or maybe how he will not be capable of making art.
Maybe it's symbolic of a lot of things in the process of dealing with a fatal disease as a whole :/
I had never thought of it that way. The most confusing lyric is the bit about skull designs on his shoes. I could never get my head around it
The final song of the final album became the final single of that album... and of Bowie's career.
A grand finale for a grand artist.
Hats off, David, rest in eternal peace...
THE END
I,ll buy that for a Dollar ;)..............................
David, everyone says hi.
+ShadyPinesMa79 David says "Hi" back to everyone.
nice reference there
Shall all be seeing you soon, ain't that the Cats Whiskas!
I love your comment
VEVO's rubbing salt in the wound tbh. Miss you Bowie.
he's the brightest star at night
You gave us plenty David. We thank you! RIP.
I'M NOT OKAY
+Nancy Carolyn neither am I
+Nancy Carolyn Someday, I'll be able to listen to Blackstar without tearing up. Eventually. I hope.
NEGATION DOES NOT EXIST
Album of the year.
+jessie SX Yes......Indeed
God, I miss this MAN!!!!
"A New Career in a New Town" is hidden there, somewhere. Thanks, Bowie.
The bass is beautiful, especially around 2:38.
